In 30 years they will bring out a commemorative DVD of this glorious, glorious night and a small handful of people will be able to say "I was there"

Watched this and my lasting impression is that I cannot believe how bad Danny Welbeck was. His decontamination making and touch were awful, so bad that he accidently set up a goal for Feo by overrunning a ball.
It was a dead rubber game played out in front of 20,000 people..yet rather than give Nkeiath 70 to 90 minutes the genuis started Welbeck and Giroud . I know they are not regular starters in the "first" team , but they will probably be on the bench at Southampton. Was Wenger's thinking that Welbeck and Giroud score a hat full and he will look a genuis for masterminding a massacre.?
Bate were probably the worst team I have ever seen Arsenal play on TV..
Finally I had to watch it on the EirSport channel, Brian KERR mystery be the most monotonous pundit around....Very forgetable game .

Actually even though I said EirSport were monotonous the commentator said of all the English players on the pitch for Arsenal and others that none of them have really developed under Wenger...Not often you actually hear that from a commentator or pundit..

Watched the highlights.Thought Welbeck and Wally were rusty, then realised that's as good as their first touch gets.Felt sorry for the guy that gave away the penalty,Theo hadn't a clue what the plan was so how could the poor defender?

Just think, we left the Garden of Eden of world football to finish behind Leicester in the league and play in the UEFA cup in a half empty sterile shopping centre against a team of greengrocers and postmen from Bella magazine.

In moving to compete with Europe's elite this is what its all about guys - will it be the serial trophy winners Ostersund, the mega rich Ludogorets or a money spinning tie with FC Kobehnavn

All hail Lord Wenger for managing to haul us into this new glorious era of swatting aside the likes of Koln and BATE.

As group winners arsenal can't draw any of the champions league teams so Napoli or Athletico will have to wait. Will likely be another eastern European team in the next round
Only the 4 best 3 rd placed finishers in the champions league group stages are seeded
So we could have drawn Napoli
